There is a Monster on My Holiday Who Farts

The
Monster who Farts is back, so get your passports ready for some hilarious
fun! This story is cleverly written and
illustrated for children, and might I say adults, too. Co-creators, Tim Millar and Matt Stanton, not only know
their young audience well, but their approach is fresh and original.

A
family trip around the world: who could possibly be the unexpected, extra passenger? A
farting monster of course! This embarrassing problem becomes obvious when on
the plane to the first stop, Japan, there’s unexpected turbulence. The
reader is left guessing. Is the farting
monster responsible or is it someone else?

The
colorful illustrations with comical facial expressions and gassy puffs
entertain and delight, but also add cheeky fun to complement the text. For example, the Mona
Lisa’s smirk is turned to a look of smelly distaste. The author and illustrator tango dance
together briskly to tell this fart tale.

The
reader travels with the family from country to country, and points of interest
in the simple text provides extra fun. For example, ‘The Leaning
Tower of Pisa finally topples -- ‘because there’s a monster on my holiday who
farts.’

Subjects
such as family, travel, culture and geography make this story so much more than
a just simple fart tale. This is one of
those books that a child will want to visit again and again, as laughter really
does make the world go around.
